Technology

This man ran into the weirdos on Mastodon. I'm over there hanging out with people posting about ass-pennies and no one cries "content warning!" You're the one who decides who you follow and who follows you. If your hanging out with folks too sensitive for your liking, that's on you.

wtf kind of lame criticism of mastodon is this...there are constantly cute pictures of pets being posted on mastodon... and like anywhere else with humans these posts are very popular on mastodon.

I would say these posts are MORE popular on mastodon because without an algorithm cute animal photos are going to stick out as popular even more.

This is all nonsense anyways, Bluesky is considered "cooler" by techy types with a childlike awareness of history, politics and power because the tech is cooler when considered in the abstract.

Coincidently none of these technical details have the capacity to make bluesky a truly open and free place otherwise those investors would sue bluesky for purposefully and willfully not pursuing profit for shareholders. This won't stop certain types from pointing at pictures in the sand and reciting idle words thrown to the wind by the people in charge for now.

Bluesky exists as a legal instrument of profit, all else about bluesky is malleable and changeable and will eventually be bulldozed or undermined in the pursuit of profit for shareholders.

edit 2 this is a real human, and I was grumpy and while it was satisfying to point fingers it just makes me into the asshole so I removed that, but my broader point still stands

Being complicated will keep the Facebook moms, and my casually racist uncle away.

Seems the solution is just turning off replies
